And those are memories, for both of you, that'll far outlast any animal you'll ever notch a tag on.  :tup:

Is that a shed hunting goat.  :chuckle:

Well
Holy smokes
I can’t be gone to tell my weekend hunt
Our little 2 day hunt turned into a hunt that won’t be repeated
15 mile quad ride up a tough road. 2 bears in a hour spotted. Lightning strikes a tree 200 yards away, hail storm.
Then another 3 bears.
A beautiful morning sunrise then 2 bears
Get to a drainage and watch a Big boy walk across snow. He leaves before a trigger is pulled 
5 minutes anther black bear comes out. Winds us and goes to trees.
5 minutes and 2 brown colored bears cross a ridge and drop down towards us.
I get to drop one. Other gets away
Big blackie comes back out but not sir long.
Go clean him out.
The go down hill always and glass. Right before dark a bear walks out and dad is able to shoot. We see a paw fly backwards in brush. Next morning we recover him.
With truck problems, quad problems, little snow , wolfs tracking down a warden Sunday night. We had a blast
13 bears , 2 brought home 
Now a year to think about it
